I had a play where I was the lead and player 1 on team A is going in for a shot and is obviously pushed. Neither my parter nor I could see who did it. Neither one of us blew the whistle. After the ball goes up the other end and team B is now shooting ft's the player 1 on team A said to me, "watch the pushes underneath." I told her, "I saw you hit the floor but couldn't see what happened so I didn't call it." Was I all right in how I handled her? Should I have ignored it or spoke with her on the side as she was inbounding the ball? What is the propper way to handle a player in that situation who is really frustrated?

dsturdy5,

Replace, "I saw you hit the floor but couldn't see what happened so I didn't call it."
with, "Okay, I will."

Or, ... for a big smash and crash, call it on the closest defender.
